Visit the former house of the late silk tycoon for a true beauty of Thai architecture and a stunning collection of rare Asian artifacts. The exquisite complex of six traditional Thai teak houses once belonged to James H.W. Thompson. An avid collector himself, his house displays antiques and collectibles he sourced from around Asia such as Buddha images from the 13th century, original Thai paintings from the 18th century and Chinese porcelains from the 14th century.
